Extra-curricular

We strive to not only challenge our students
academically, but also provide them with opportunities
to add new skills, experiences and achievements to
their CVs. We support our students to become wellrounded, mature and conscientious young people with
an active interest in their community.

Duke of Edinburgh’s Award

We offer the DofE programme at three
levels: Bronze, Silver or Gold. This
nationally recognised award is comprised
of four sections which involve: helping
your community/the environment,
becoming fitter and healthier, developing
new skills and completing an expedition.
Undertaking your award will see you enjoy
a life-changing experience, enhance your
CV and develop your skills whilst taking
on personal challenges, having fun and
meeting new friends.

Extended Project Qualification

Choose to set yourself apart from the rest
by completing an EPQ - an independent
research project equivalent to half an
A Level. This qualification is recognised
by many universities as an important
way for applicants to develop research
and academic skills relevant for higher
education study. Your project can be
about anything you are passionate about
- whether that’s your exploration into the
commercial viability of zero emission fuel
cells or writing your own novel.

Football Education

The Football Education Programme
is designed to deliver exceptional
experiences to talented aspiring
footballers. The programme involves
regular training sessions and weekly
fixtures with the Association of Colleges
(AoC) League. All fixtures are recorded
on Veo cameras so that players can
review footage and analyse their
performance for continual improvement.
